Nothing Grounds You Like Spending Time With Family

This summer has been crazy for myself and my business partner Will.  Days off have been scarce in my house! 

Sunday morning, my sister in law and her husband came to our house from Wichita, Kansas.  They are always so much fun!  Their favorite place to take a break from reality is Estes Park, Colorado.  Every year on their way to Estes, they stop and spend the night with us and we always have a blast.

Sunday night we relaxed while my husband grilled steaks.  We sat on the back patio until 10:00 listening to music and just catching up on life.

Here is a picture of my husband Craig and his sister Kay.

Kay has always been so much fun to be around.  She knows how to enjoy life and savor every moment.  She is a funeral director in Wichita and deals with the worst side of life on a daily basis. Her and I have a pact that when my husband passes away, we will put a red clown nose on him and an orange wig and big clown shoes that will be sticking through the casket.  He always picked on his little sister when they were growing up, so she wants pay backs after he is gone. Craig says he doesn't care because he will be dead, but secretly I think he is freaked out.  Kay and I just laugh about the whole plan.

Having family around this weekend helped me to take a much needed break, even if it was only for one day. I will miss Kay and her husband Randy.  I hope they see lots of moose and bears in the mountains this week!

Hi Belinda,  I am so glad you had time to relax on Sunday.  You need to still catch up on days off or take a vacation soon.

Belinda - my alter ego, O'Larry the Clown, is in agreement with your odd plans, but not any time soon. Shows the depth of caring in your family. Visiting family can be such a boost ~ we had some last week.

Hi Belinda, what a nice time you had during your visit with family.  A fun evening catching up over a great dinner from the grill.  Sounds wonderful.  Glad you got a little break.

I’m presuming that you got Will’s approval to take a little time off? JJJJ
